I'm pretty sure there were not many North Carolina style hog farms in China in 1922. On the other hand China did produce large quantities of eggs and bean cake and stuff like that for export, so there may have been that many pigs. I suspect something is happening here, but I don't know what it is. General Yan,

He worked with Yan Xishan, warlord and sometime Frog commentator in setting up the Sacrifice League during the war with Japan and was instrumental in the relationship between Yan and the Communists. After the war he was mostly in financial and economic posts and was big on the development of heavy industry. He seems to have opposed the Great Leap about as much as you could without loosing his job, but his liberal ideas and connections to Liu Shaoqi got him in trouble during the CR. I really have nothing of interest to say about him, but I remember the shock I felt when I was an undergrad in a Russian history class and found out the Molotov was still alive.

If it was just pig population, that is one thing, but I cannot imagine too many industrial scale places in 1922 China. What qualifies as “industrial scale” pig farming?
